This is again, merely my explanation of why I'm uncomfortable with it, and the test is to watch it with someone else. Don't think I'm trying to tell you that you're evil or anything, I accept that the OP was right about the uncertainty of it all.
To each his or her own. I look for a certain degree of openness in regards to sex in my partner, so it usually goes to say that we both can enjoy porn. To me, it just serves to get us both in the mood. Or to try new things. It's like when you are watching a movie with a sex scene or even just really attractive actors and you both get turned on. Porn is just the next level.

As such, I think enjoying porn together can be a good way to mix/spice things up in a relationship. If both go into it willingly with an open mind and can laugh about it, then I don't see why it should hurt a couple.
This.
